Bernardo Atxaga to participate in Mantua's literary festival

Festivaletteratura Mantova, which takes place over the next four days in the Lombardy region, includes appearances by writer Bernardo Atxaga.

The festival program is as extensive as in past years, and Atxaga will participate in four events : a poetry reading, a lecture, a round table on Cesare Pavese, and the "Vocabulario europeo" series, in which authors present a word from their native language (Atxaga has chosen "ikasi", which means "learn" in Basque).
